In this life, I really like just moving Boxes with you...

An intimate, slice-of-life treatise about three women’s moving stories, one of them being the filmmaker herself. Through candid moments and conversations, the documentary reveals the difficulties of transitions, in different life-stages, different circumstances. A celebration of female friendships and community, the filmmaker explores how changes can be less scary when you have help, and that it is okay to ask for help.
